"Hubby & I now drive for Uber & Lyft. #lovinit"
Wed Jul-22-15 02:55 PM by Damali

          

It definitely helps to live near a major train station and a major airport. (Newark)...we've been driving for about a week...he likes doing late at night. I'm probably just gonna do a couple hours during the day at a time..we share the same car (for now)...best part time job ever.

anybody have any experiences to share? what city you driving in? all the research says that DC is the best of them all...

Jul 22nd 2015
34

Jul 22nd 2015
5

Jul 23rd 2015
41

Jul 23rd 2015
51
                     i'm inclined to agree...however with secret shoppers ya never know.
Jul 23rd 2015
60
                          true, I will hold onto this info
Jul 23rd 2015
65
                               i secret shopped as a side hustle once, this foiiine girl was doing
Jul 23rd 2015
69

Jul 22nd 2015
9
      damn. okay...gonna have to talk this over w/ wifey.
Jul 22nd 2015
11
      yes i love the folks i meet so far
Jul 22nd 2015
14
      that is lovely... 20 an hour to drive people around for 10 to 15 hours
Jul 22nd 2015
27
      when you say net, you are saying after gas expense?
Jul 23rd 2015
42
           no. i mean after they take their fee
Jul 23rd 2015
52
                um yeah lol
Jul 23rd 2015
61
                     if i'm gonna do x anyway, it's not a factor for me
Jul 23rd 2015
63
                          lol i was just responding to this..this statement was silly
Jul 23rd 2015
64
                               i agree, but I also think a lot of people do this to talk themselves
Jul 23rd 2015
66
                                    why would someone do that just to talk themselves out of it?
Jul 23rd 2015
68
                                         you're also ignoring the rest of what I said
Jul 23rd 2015
70
                                              jesus, i'm not talking about you lol
Jul 23rd 2015
72
                                                   understood.
Jul 23rd 2015

In Philly they were giving out free gas enticing you to sign up
Jul 22nd 2015

cars are meant to be driven *shrug*
Jul 22nd 2015
10
      because the '$22 an hour' you are making is less when you factor
Jul 23rd 2015
43
           $19 an hour is still good money for driving when you want to....
Jul 23rd 2015
45
                it is...i'm just explaining the mileage concern.
Jul 23rd 2015
46
                     The mileage concern is understandable but if you hustle right
Jul 23rd 2015
49
                          exactly. I'm tweaking the hustle every day, the more i learn
Jul 23rd 2015
53
                          not sure i follow what you are saying
